Happy new year everybody!
I've tried sending some texts, but as usual the mobile network is ridiculously busy. Still on GPRS, but this time from Cornwall - when time and connection permits, I'll come back and do another entry with the usual. But for now, may the new year hold much joy and happiness for you all, and may all your dreams come true. Unless your dreams contain themes of paedophilia or bestiality.
Happy new year!
I am now back on broadband, and as promised I will now provide you with my start-of-the-year entry, even if it is two days late.

In other news, I have finally ...
I'm up to my eyes in actionscript at the moment, and its not pretty. I'm in the middle of writing a function called 'binTwosFractionParserFromBoxes', and as it implies, I'm not exactly having the time of my life. But hey, it's work, so I can't complain.
As far as targets go, I'm waay behind. This is the project that started 6 months late. It's a set of 21 activities, and I figure I should be able to get through one a day now, but I've been at the same one for the past ...
It is only now I realise that I haven't told you all about Leela's car.
Monday morning started normally enough - got up, had breakfast, Leela left, I started work. Ok, I started reading the morning webcomics, but I was going to start work right after, honest. Only Leela came back in while I was in the middle of User Friendly.
She knew when she set off that something wasn't right with her car, and gave up at the end of the road. We could see the problem - there was a very big screw in the top of ...
